Most people in Southern California have never experienced a tropical storm; the last one to make landfall was in 1939. Palm Springs and the deserts are expected to get the worst of it - there's nowhere for the water to go. There will likely be widespread destruction.

These threads always bring out the weirdos.

"These storms that are forming down south and off of Mexico and Central America, could get more strong, more quickly, due to climate change. And so on the random chance that they do go through that weird track where they actually end up affecting the West Coast they may be stronger," Kossin said.

"Experts say the severe and abnormal weather events plaguing the US - and several areas across the globe - are being influenced by human-caused climate change."

"Human-caused climate change is leading to more frequent and intense extreme precipitation events, and is also leading to wetter tropical storms and hurricanes."

Hilary likely is driven by climate change. Global warming makes weather events worse.

Not according to the IPCC or EM-DAT data

But if you think you have proof. post it. And NO the LATimes is not an authority. ;)

And Corinne Portell has alarmist experts on speed dial. Who knew.

Those interviewed in the LA Times are certainly authorities. And those to whom the fossil fuel companies have spent a fortune to influence are hardly credible.
